FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken on line 88 in FIG. 7.

FIG. 9 is a fragmentary exploded view in perspective of the hinge-post jamb and the hinge carrying vertical edge of a door, the latter embodying a novel hinge plate mounted in the lower hinge cut-out for providing universality of door hanging.

FIG. 10 is an enlarged fragmentary elevational View of the jamb and door in open hung position showing in detail the bottom hinge arrangement embodying the invention.

Referring in detail to the drawings, 20 denotes a knockdown door buck or frame constructed to embody the invention seen in FIGS. 1 and 5 to include a head piece 21 for extending horizontally across the top of the doorway and interfitting on one end with a vertically extending hinge-post jamb 22 and on the opposite end with a bolt socket carrying jamb 23.

Head piece 21, as shown in FIGS. 2, 5 and 6, may be formed of sheet metal in two separable and expandable longitudinally extending sections, a door stop carrying section 21a and a telescoping section 21b. Sections 21a and 21b are each substantially L-shaped in cross-section and when assembled form a channel-shaped member having opposite side walls 21c and 21d, respectively, the

distance between side walls 210 and 21d being adjustable by telescoping bottom portion 21] of section 21b into bottom portion 21e of section 21a in a manner hereinafter more fully described. As is clear from 'FIG. 2, bottom portion 21:; has a free marginal area U-shaped in cross-section forming a horizontal door stop portion 211g for head piece 21, the area of bottom portion 21a between door stop portion 21g and side Wall 21c forming a horizontal door framing portion for door buck 20.

In order to serve the intended purpose, head piece 211 has the bottom thereof provided with opposite end cutouts in a manner generally similar to the head piece shown and described in my said Patent No. 2,799,370. Thus bottom portion Zle of door stop carrying section 21a has opposite end cut-outs 21h aligned with opposite end cut-outs 211' of telescoping section bottom portion 21 the door stop portion of 21g being cut-out an additional amount to terminate a spaced distance therefrom as is clear from FIG. 4.

In the manner shown and described in my said Patent No. 2,799,370, a suitable interfitting connection component is provided for joining the opposite ends of head piece 21 to vertically extending jambs 22 and 23 here shown to comprise an Lshaped member having a horizontal section serving as an attachment ledge 21 which may be spot welded as at 21k to the interior surface of the bottom portion 21f of section 21b and a vertical section 21! disposed in transverse relation to the head piece 21 forming the greater length of a telescoping flange. As is clear from FIG. 2 vertical section 21l extends beyond section 21b and aligns with the lesser length of said telescoping flange, that is, with a vertical section 21a of an L-shaped member having an attachment ledge 21m welded to bottom portion 21 .2. The ends 21p and 21: of vertical sections 211 and 2121, respectively, as is clear from FIGS. 2 and 5, cooperate as opposite ends of said 22! terminating door stop portion 21g to properly receive bottom portion 21] of section 2112 therebetween in said telescoping engagement.

Jambs 22 and 23 are likewise formed of sheet metal in two separable and expandable longitudinally extending sections, door stop carrying sections 22a and 23a and telescoping sections 22b and 23b, respectively. Sections 22a, 22b and 23a, 23b are each substantially L-shaped in cross section and when assembled each pair form a channel-shaped member having opposite side walls 22c, 22d

and 23c, 23d, respectively, the distance between side Walls 22c and 23d; 23c and 23d being adjustable by telescoping transverse portions 22 23 of section 22b, 21% into transverse portions 22c, 23e of sections 22a, 23a, respectively,

in a manner similar to the telescoping of head piece bottom portion 21 into portion Me of section 210:.

As is clear from FIGS. 3 and 5, transverse portions 22c and 23:: have free marginal areas U-shaped in cross section forming vertical door stop portions 22g and 23g. The areas of transverse portion 22:: and 232 between door stop portion 225;. and 23g and side walls 22c and 23c, respectively, form vertical door framing portions for door buck 20.

Telescoping interconnection between sections 22a, 22b and 23a, 23b is facilitated by two or more spaced apart retaining plates 22h and 23h welded to the interior surfaces of the door framing portion of transverse portions 222 and 23e of sections 22a and 23a to extend across and beyond vertical door stop portions 22g and 23g, respectively. Shims 221 and 231 may be used between plates 22!: and 23k and transverse portions 22e and 2 3e to properly space plates 22k and 23h from free edges 22p and 23p terminating door stop portions 22g and 23g to properly receive transverse portions 22 and 23 of sections 22b and 23b, respectively, therebet-ween in said telescoping engagement.

Headpiece 21 and jarnbs 22 and 23 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, inclusive, form a modified version of the four position door buck shown and described in my said prior Patent No. 2,799,370 but which is also adjustable for a range of wall thicknesses. The trim of the door buck may be integrally formed in the side walls of the head piece and the jambs similar to that shown in my Patent No.

2,799,370 and also illustrated as a modification in FIGS. 7 and 8 and hereinafter more fully described.

Door buck 20 is shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, inclusive, to include auxiliary strips with snap-on attachment means to serve as a decorative trim and also render a simulated mitered joint appearance to the top corners of the portal frame. It is to be understood in describing this novel decorative trim that the inventive concept thereof is equally applicable to three piece door bucks of the nonwall-thickness-adjustable type shown in my Patent No. 2,799,370 and is not to be considered as limited to the six basic part door buck herein disclosed.

As is clear from FIGS. 2 to 6, inclusive, side walls 21c, 21d, 22c, 22d and 23c, 23d of sections 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b and 23a, 23b are each formed with a longitudinally extending margin rolled outwardly as beads 21w, 21v, 22 22k and 23 23k, respectively, forming one element of a snap-on attachment means for a decorative molding strip, a second attachment means element being formed as a row of spaced apart tabs 21w, 21x, 22l, 22m and 231 and 23m stamped in oifset relation on outwardly facing surfaces of said side walls 21c, 21d, 22c, 22d and 23c, 23d to project away from beads 21w, 21v, 22 22k and 23 23k, respectively, to serve in the manner hereinafter described. Holes 24 may be provided and suitably spaced apart in rows along side walls 21c, 21d, 22c, 22d and 23c, 23d adjacent beads 21w, 21v, 22 22k and 23 23k, respectively, to receive suitable fastening means such as screws or nails 25, as is clear from FIGS. 2, 3 and 5.

The auxiliary strips which snap-on as a trim for the edge borders of head piece 21 and jambs 22 and 23, concealing the fastening means and providing novel simulated mitered corners are seen in FIGS. 2, 3 and 5 as strips 26 and 27 formed of sheet metal having substantially similar channel shaped cross-sectional configurations and formed with opposite inwardly extending longitudinal flanges 26a, 26b and 27a, 27b, respectively, serving as elements of the attachment means in the manner hereinafter described. It will be understood that strips 26 and 27 may have any suitably desirable decorative configuration but are here shown as having front surface areas 260 and 270 with sides 26:! and 27d extending from one edge thereof and having opposite edges rearwardly rolled to form flanges 26b and 27b, sides 26d and 27d carrying said opposite flanges 26a and 27a, respectively.

In the form of the invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, inclusive, strips 26 are precut to longitudinally tit head piece side walls 210 and 21d and have opposite ends thereof beveled as at 26c. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, strips 27 are cut to longitudinally fit janrb side walls 22c, 22d, 23c and 23d and have squared-off opposite ends 27c so that strips 27 extend from floor to the beads 21:: and

21v of head piece 21. Strip 26 is also sized to overlie the upper ends of strips 27 in the region of bevels 26c to render a simulated mitered joint. Suitable means may be used to longitudinally rigidify strips 26 and 27 herein indicated as longitudinally extending ribs 26 and 27 formed on the interior side of front surface areas 26c and 270, respectively.

Doorstop carrying section 22:: also has suitably mounted thereon and preferably symmetrically spaced from opposite ends along the door framing portion hinge plates 28, shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 as inserted through spaced slots 2211 in side walls 22c and welded to the interior surface of the door framing portion.

Likewise door stop carrying section 23a may be pro vided with a suitable cut out opening 2311 for a bolt socket plate located preferably midway between the opposite ends thereof. a

The utility of the invention will now be apparent. A doorway is framed in a wall W with vertical studs S and lintel L in the well understood manner to predetermined dimensions corresponding to the size of buck 20 to be used. Wall W may then be framed on both sides with plaster or plaster board P extending substantially to the edge of the framed doorway.

Buck 20 delivered to the job in knock-down condition is then simultaneously installed and assembled requiring minimum labor and skill. After having first assembled head piece 21, and jambs 22 and 23 from their component parts by inserting bottom portion 21 between retaining plates Mr and free edge 21! and transverse portions 22 and 23 between plates 22h, 23h and free edges 22p and 23p, head piece 21 is held in position against lintel L and jambs 22 and 23 are vertically positioned against studs S and in proper alignment with vertical sections 21! and 21n forming the telescoping flange of the interfitting connection between head piece 21 and jarnbs 22 and 23. The lengths of jambs 22 and 23 allowing the top ends thereof to just clear the bottom edges of vertical sections 211 and 2111 when jambs 22 and 23 rest on the flooring F. The interfitting of the parts is then accomplished by lowering head piece 21 into the position shown in FIG; 2, sections 21! and 21n sliding into engagement with the open ends of jambs 22 and 23. Buck 20 in assembly is now secured to studs S and lintel L by means of wood screws or nails 25 inserted through holes 24, sections 21a, 21b

of head piece 21 and sections 22a, 22b and 23a, 23b of jambs 22 and 23 respectively, having been telescopingly adjusted to the required wall thickness.

After head piece 21 and jambs 22 and 2 3 are properly secured in the doorway, side walls 21c, 21d, 22c, 22d and 23c, 23d will be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3 to be substantially flush against the finished surface of plaster P. Auxiliary strips 26 and 27 may now be snapped-on in position to provide a decorative trim and simulated mitered corners. To this end strips 27 are attached first by inserting longitudinal flanges 27b under tabs 222 and 231 and then applying pressure against the opposite edges to slightly spring sides 27d for engagement of flanges 27a behind beads 22 22k and 23f, 23k. Strips 26 are then attached to head piece side walls 210,210! in a similar manner but with beveled opposite ends 26a overlying the squared off upper ends 27e of vertical strips 27, sides 26d and 27d forming a finished edge around buck outstanding from the surface of Wall W.

It is to be understood that, although it is preferable to provide strips 26 with beveled opposite ends 26e sized and shaped to overlie squared-off ends 27e of vertical strips 27, as an alternative within the scope of the invention, mitere'd corners may also be provided by forming strips 26 with squaredbfr' opposite ends and strips 27 each with one end sized and beveled to overlie the squared-off ends of strip 26.

FIGS. 7 and 8 showing details of the telescoping wall thickness adjustability construction as a modified door buck 30 also illustrates an integral finished molding for the side walls of the head piece and jambs similar to that shown and described in my prior Patent No. 2,799,370.

Thus door buck 30 has adjustable head piece 31, hingepost jamb 32 and bolt socket carrying jamb 33, head piece 31 being formed of separable sections 31a and 31b having bottom portions 31c and 31f with opposite end cut-outs 3th and 31:, respectively, cut-outs 3li on opposite ends of bottom portion 31 carrying a telescoping flange composed of attachment ledge 31 having a vertical section 31!, bottom portion 31e having door stop portion 31g and two or more retaining plates 311' and shims 31s, all parts corresponding substantially to those of door buck 20.

Side walls 310 and 31d of sections 31a and 31b have integrally formed inwardly bent longitudinal flanges 31a and 31v forming a top finished edge and end flanges 31w and 31x, respectively, flanges 31, 31v, 31w and 31x may extend from decorative raised borders Sly and 31z, respectively.

In order to supplement the interfitting connection between the opposite ends of head piece 31 and jambs 32 and 33 afforded by vertical section 311, side walls 310 and 31d are fitted with corner pieces 36 which may be suitably welded to the interior surface thereof to provide downwardly extending tabs 36a for engaging the interior side of jamb side walls, 32c, 32d and 33c, 33d.

lambs 32 and 33 of door buck 30 are likewise formed in two separable sections 32a, 32b and 33a, 33b having transverse portions 32c, 32 and 33e, 33 respectively, transverse portions 32a and 332 having door stop portions 32g and 33g and two or more shims and retaining plates 32h and 33h, respectively, all parts corresponding to those of door buck 20. Side walls 32c, 32d and 33c, 33d of sections 32a like side walls 31c and 31d each have inwardly bent longitudinal flanges 32 32k and 331', 33k, respectively, forming side finished edges, flanges 32j, 32k and 33 33k may extend from decorative raised borders 321, 32m and 331, 33111, respectively, which register with borders Sly and 31z of head piece 31.

Where it is the intention to supply doors for use with door bucks of the universal hanging type hereinbefore described and where it is desired to facilitate installation of such doors and maintain labor cost on the job at an absolute minimum, a preformed reversible door 29 is illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10 having a suitable cut-out for lock and doorknobs (not shown) positioned equidistant from top and bottom edges permitting turning of the door upside down for selective hanging from the right or left jamb.

As hereinbefore described hinge carrying jambs 22 and 32 may have secured thereto equidistant from the opposite ends thereof hinge plates 28 hearing conventionally located triple ears 28a for selective use on either the right or left side of the doorway by simply turning the jamb upside down. Door 29 has preformed cut-outs 29a also spaced equidistant from the top and bottom edges thereof.

In order to allow proper clearance between the head piece and the top of the door and also maintain a neat fit, it has been found practical to space hinges 28 approximately 6% inches from each end of jambs 22 or 32 and to locate the door preformed cut-outs 29a approximately 6% inches from the top and bottom edges thereof, the spacing of hinges 23 and cut-outs 29a from the respective edges of the jamb and door being indicated in FIG. 9 as distances [2 and a, respectively.

Companion hinge plates 28b and 28d are provided for securing in cut-outs 290 at the time of installation. Companion hinge plate 281), being conventional in the location of double ears 28c, is provided for use in the top cut-out 29a to properly align door 29 with the head piece 21 or 31. However, it will be noted that the jamb is usually longer vertically than the height of the door by an amount in excess of inch, that is, the height of the jamb is greater than the height of the door by an increment in excess of 2([2-(1), in order to allow for a saddle (not shown) or for carpeting and the like. This excess in height of the jamb over and above 2(ba) is usually on the order of /2 inch which will locate hinge 28 an equivalent distance below door cut-out 29a when door 29 is hung conventionally on the upper hinges. In order to compensate for this difference, a novel companion hinge plate 28d is provided having double ears 28e offset from their conventional position a distance equivalent to said /2 inch for attachment in said bottom cutout 29a so that ears 28s will register with ears 28a to receive hinge pin 28f.

The universality of the door hanging means in combination with the versatility of the door buck construction embodying the invention as hereinbefore described eliminates all consideration of lefts and rights and inside or outside openings and wall thicknesses by the builder, jobber and manufacturer thereby effecting economies in manufacturing, jobbing and ordering supplies.

It is thus seen that there is provided universal door bucks and door hanging means whereby the several objects of this invention are achieved and which are well adapted to meet the conditions of practical use.

As various possible embodiments might be made of the above invention, and as various changes might be made in the embodiments above set forth, it is to be understood that all matters herein set forth or shown in the accompanying drawing are to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
